Polytropon articulated:

Absolutely true. However, as Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "It is
tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as
if it were a nail."

This sort of tunnel vision, at least in my opinion, has infected the
*BSD community in general. They look at a problem and then, rather than
finding a solution, find someone to blame. My my late father was so
fond of saying when someone complained, "It's better to light a candle
than curse the darkness."
